Commonly it is held many of us as teenagers will go through a phase wherein a type of music, band or similar is picked that the adults and respected critics of the day will trash, be highly controversial or be dubbed "just a phase". Sometimes said critics are held as wrong, sometimes they are right, sometimes the music just arrived at the point in life where it mattered and it stuck with you ever since. If your angsty phase happened to be in your 50s after a divorce, or you are the "I am 13 in 2021 and still listening to this 1970s classic, much to the chagrin of my parents" then it plays too.
If we can try to spare this from becoming a wall of video links that might be nice, though don't worry if you don't. If you can try to keep it to one or two bands of a given style per reply that will probably help.
Did you listen to Limp Bizkit for the music (and I will take up the fight of them being actually really good musicians, even if lyrically lacking) or now cringe? Have you liked the Rolling Stones long enough for them to stop being controversial to being mainstream to now being grandad rock? Is watching the video for Smack My Bitch Up alone enough to give you a hangover? Did God Save the Queen become just another punk song? Do you find yourself still enjoying Tom Morello's guitar solos but Rage Against the Machine's rather left wing approach being at odds with your libertarian philosophy? Despite your desires if you tried to shake your hips like Elvis are you likely to need a hip replacement afterwards? Did the gangsta rap stand up or are the beats 100x better and raps 100x wilder today (possibly also actually done to the beat) or are the youth of today all complete wimps in comparison? Did the Bloodhound Gang just become a puerile songwriting team? Is Another Brick in the Wall something you still ascribe to teachers but for different reasons? Does Light My Fire still light a fire of your passions? Did slayer's angel of death have to be left behind for things far harder and heavier? Maybe you are 100+ years old and remember kicking back to prohibition is a failure ( https://stacker.com/stories/3239/controversial-songs-year-you-were-born ) where today the kids will call it unbelievably quaint...
